The Hudson County Improvement
Authority's (HCIA) mission is simple:
To provide a wide range of needed services to the residents and businesses
of Hudson County at the least cost to taxpayers.

Since the inception of the Hudson
County Improvement Authority (HCIA), an autonomous public agency with broad
responsibilities in solid waste management, recycling, affordable housing
and transportation management in Hudson County, Hudson County's recycling
rate has increased from three percent to more than 55 percent.

The HCIA works consistently to educate
both residents and businesses alike on the benefits of recycling. The HCIA's
recycling division has offered 45-minute audience participation
presentations to the majority of the public, private and parochial schools
in the County. The same division has also awarded more than 200 mini-grants
to various not-for-profit organizations in Hudson County.

The HCIA's Household Hazardous Collection program has also collected more
than three million pounds of hazardous waste from residents throughout the
County.

HCIA please call our Environmental Hotline at 1(800) 540-0987 or visit them
